Detailed Description

Dorman 986-129 is a rear drive shaft assembly built for 1991-1996 Ford F-150 trucks. It uses a steel shaft with 0.083 in wall thickness, a slip yoke, and greaseable construction to support serviceability. The assembly is supplied pre-balanced and includes 100% new yokes, tubes, universal joints, and related driveline components, helping simplify replacement when the original shaft is worn, damaged, or out of balance. This part cross-references Ford OE number F2TZ4R602T for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Driveline vibration from a worn or unbalanced shaft
  • Clunking or driveline noise from worn universal joints
  • Loss of smooth power transfer to the rear axle
  • Damage from corrosion, impact, or shaft wear
  • Service issues related to a failing slip yoke assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear application, transmission yoke, and flange connection points before installation. Confirm compressed length, overall length, and shaft diameter match the original driveline setup on your Ford F-150. Inspect mating surfaces, driveline angles, and related hardware condition during replacement to help ensure proper fitment and smooth operation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a complete replacement assembly with new core components and pre-balanced construction for consistent fit and function in the specified Ford F-150 applications.
